Title

Similarity estimation of Polyphonic Musical Audio

Description

Evaluation of the content-based estimation of the similarity of two audio music examples. Discussion of the evaluation procedures on the MIREX 06 "AudioSim06" contest planning list has been documented on the Audio Music Similarity and Retrieval page. A full digest of the discussions is available to subscribers from the MIREX 06 "AudioSim06" contest planning list archives.

Submissions will be required to estimate the similarity of each example, in a small music corpora, to each other example and will be evaluated according to a number of metrics, including metrics derived from the metadata available for the corpora (including the genre, artist and album labels) and runtime performance.
